The paper discusses the experience of using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in the management of municipal solid waste landfills and dumpsites. Although the use of drones at waste disposal sites (WDS) has a more than ten-year history, the active application of these technologies has increased in the last 3–4 years. The paper analyzes scientific publications of 2010–2021 (July) and identifies the main WDS management task groups for which the solution of UAV can be used. It illustrates that most of the research is devoted to studying spatial and volumetric characteristics of landfills, which is connected with the practical needs. About a quarter of the publications focus on monitoring the emissions of landfill gas or its individual components, mainly methane. Issues of a comprehensive assessment of the technological and environmental safety of landfills and dumps are covered in the scientific literature fragmentarily and insufficiently. At the same time, the current level of technologies for collecting and processing remote sensing air data (UAV, sensors for aerial imagery, software for photogrammetric processing of aerial imagery data, geographic information systems (GIS)) makes it possible to identify and assess many environmental effects of landfills and dumps and to monitor compliance with the standards for the landfills operation, which could bring management of these facilities to a fundamentally different level. Promising areas of further research in the field of UAV application at WDS are indicated: development of processes for automatic interpretation of aerial imagery materials; product analysis of photogrammetric data processing in a GIS environment, etc.
